If you’ve gone outside to enjoy this wonderful day, you’ve probably heard additional sounds from nature, we’ve seen the cicadas, but now people in the greater Cincinnati area are really starting to hear them, a bystander named Paul sent WLWT a photo with decibel level of the cicadas that reach a maximum of 88.2. A Yale study of decibel levels compares this noise in Paul’s location to more than a vacuum cleaner at 75 and just above the same level as city traffic at 85. We’re not quite in the 100s yet, a motor mower or chainsaw would be that loud, but not too far away. Please keep sending your cicada photos with your location to [email protected].

If you’ve gone outside to enjoy this wonderful day, you’ve probably heard additional sounds from nature.
We saw the cicadas, but now people in the greater Cincinnati area are really starting to hear them.
A viewer named Paul sent WLWT a photo that shows the decibel values of the cicadas and reaches a maximum of 88.2.
A Yale study of decibel levels compares this noise at Paul’s location with more than a vacuum cleaner at 75 and just above the same level as in city traffic at 85.
